EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Whimsical Summer Afternoon: Two Children in Printed Toile Summer Outfits with a Donkey by the River" This enchanting handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching captures the essence of a carefree summer day in the early 20th century. The scene features two delightful children dressed in fashionable printed toile summer outfits, reminiscent of the popular nainsook and silk dresses of the time. The girls, adorned in their blue and white linen robes de toile peinte, are playfully interacting with a donkey on the river bank. The woman accompanying them is dressed in a similar style, her robe bordée de linon bleu ciel adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The children's outfits, inspired by the Orientalism trend of the Belle Époque and Art Deco periods, showcase intricate waterlily patterns, adding a sense of tranquility and harmony to the image. The gentlemen in the background, dressed in chic Parisian attire, add an air of sophistication and charm to the scene. The donkey, with its serene expression, completes the idyllic setting, providing a sense of connection to nature. The vibrant blue sky and the calm water of the pond further enhance the overall beauty of the image. This plate, taken from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1914, is a testament to the timeless appeal of summer fashions and the simple joys of childhood. The handcoloured pochoir etching technique adds a unique and artisanal touch to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of vintage fashion or decorative art.
